Embudu Beach

I did not like that they refuse to cancel my reservation after 15 minutes I booked in. They are in the middle of nowhere you do not feel safe. Breakfast was not bad. Their add shows pool but NO POOL. Taxi will not take you to Male Ferry as it is 10 minutes walk. Small sketchy streets

The resort was nice, staff friendly and beach was beautiful. The water villas were spacious and clean although a bit dated. The biggest issue Is the view. The entire island is surrounded by construction and an obstructed view. You do not get a true remote island feel as there are constant large ships passing. The obstructed view is worse in person than in pictures. I reviewed photos before and knew there would be obstructed views but it is a lot closer when you’re actually seeing it in person. It was a huge distraction from the vibe and resort. Unfortunately garbage island is real and is very very close to the resort. You can clearly and easily see it. There should be clearer messaging from the resort regarding the views to manage expectations. Staff were generally very friendly. The food was fine however, very restricted with time. So between breakfast, lunch and dinner if you’re hungry you are out of luck or paying extra for snacks. It would be nice if there was at least one restaurant or area that had a continuous buffet or food available throughout the day especially at the all inclusive price point. Wasn’t terrible but at the price point I was left disappointed. Again to anyone reading this I just want to stress that the view from every room and area of the resort is obstructed with construction, the waste management island and large construction ships permanently anchored very close to resort. Pictures make it seem further but in person is very close and disappointing.

Beautiful hotel, clear, stunning beaches and sea, helpful and kind staff and delicious food. No negative points at all!
